Importing a Google Calendar
You can import a Google Calendar into Brightspot. After importing, you can perform the following actions:
- Synchronize between Brightspot and the imported Google Calendar.
- Share you imported calendar with other Brightspot editors.
Before importing a calendar from your Google account, you must first have authenticated your Brightspot account with Google. For details, see Authenticating with Google Calendar.
Consider creating a dedicated calendar in your Google account with a name similar to Synchronized with Brightspot
. When you import this calendar, all the events synchronized from Brightspot are easier to filter and manage within your Google account. For more information, see Create a new calendar.
